Mechanistic analysis of loess landslide reactivation in northern Shaanxi based on coupled numerical modeling of hydrological processes and stress strain evolution: A case study of the Erzhuangkelandslide in Yan’an [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The Erzhuangke landslide is a typical landslide affected by the rainy season. Rainfall changes the seepage pattern with the pre-existing landslide, weakening matric suction and soil shear strength, leading to the formation of tension cracks internally ...

Aboveground and soil carbon in novel forest ecosystems in Singapore: A case study of abandoned plantation secondary forests

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1803-1812, November 2025.
Novel forest ecosystems consist of forest ecosystems dominated by non‐native tree species that are difficult to restore to their pre‐human disturbance states. Nevertheless, novel forests can provide numerous ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and storage.

Sign Language as “Mother Tongue Orphan”: A Challenge to Raciolinguistic Multiculturalism in Singapore

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 517-528, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This article examines the contested status of “sign language” in Singapore by exploring deaf people's experiences of the “Mother Tongues”—the state's designation for the official languages of Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil—with a particular focus on the relationships that deaf Chinese Singaporeans have with Mandarin.

物理模型試驗應用於順向坡板岩變形特性之研究 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
本文主要探討臺灣板岩順向坡變形特性,藉由現場調查、地形分析與物理模型試驗說明板岩不同條件下之重力變形特性,並推估板岩變形過程與潛在崩壞機制。結果顯示,坡趾侵蝕透空與降雨入滲機制為板岩變形之關鍵,其將造成板岩材料強度弱化加速發生變形。此外,板岩變形初始發生於崖頂張力區,坡體將沿著高角度葉理滑移,並於侵蝕弱化帶附近形成剪切破壞或複合型破壞。而變形範圍內具有相當多葉理張開之現象,其將有助於地表水與地下水滲入,促使板岩變形區加速變形至崩壞。This paper focuses on characterizing

黄土丘陵沟壑区坡体稳定性影响因素分析

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2022
选取黄土丘陵沟壑区纸坊沟小流域为研究区,利用高精度遥感影像(分辨率0.068 m)和DEM (分辨率0.34 m)数据,结合野外调查,对崩塌、滑塌、滑坡、脱落和陷穴等失稳体进行识别,通过统计学、敏感系数方法,利用识别失稳体数据,分析不同类型失稳体空间分布状况,定量研究不同类型失稳体的影响因子敏感程度,揭示不同类型失稳体的主控因子,进一步阐明流域坡体失稳体的空间分布规律和影响坡体稳定性的主控因子。结果表明:(1)利用高精度遥感影像,获取流域失稳体,主要是以小规模和浅层的脱落、崩塌和滑塌为主 ...

Patterns of recovery in extant and extirpated seabirds after the world's largest multipredator eradication

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Eradicating invasive predators from islands can result in substantial recovery of seabirds, but the mechanisms that drive population changes remain poorly understood. Meta‐analyses have recently revealed that immigration is surprisingly important to the recovery of philopatric seabirds, but it is not known whether dispersal and philopatry ...
